INK-FEEDER non PENS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 1,1909.

I Application filed November 2, 1908. Serial No. 460,584.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MICHAEL CAREY, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, Brooklyn, county'of Kings, State of New York, have invented new and useful Im rovements in Ink-Feeders for Pens, of which the following is a specification.

. .This invention relates to an improved ink feeder which sustains a comparativelv large body of ink against the lower side of a en, so that the latter need only be dippe at comparatively long intervals.

In the accompanying drawings: F i ure 1 is a front View of a pen and pen-ho der provided with my improved ink feeder; Fig.

2 a longitudinal section, partly in side view, thereof; Fig. 3 an enlarged cross sec- 7 tion onfjine 3-3, Fig. 1; and Fig. 4 a detail of the coder.

The feeder comprises a wire bent to form a corrugated section 10 which is adapted .to be held longitudinally against the lower side ofa pen 11. Atits forward end corrugated section 10 terminates in an oval trans verse loop 12 which extends at right angles to the main body of the feeder and encircles both nibs 13, to hold the wire in position. At its rear end corrugated section 10 is integral with a straight wire shank 14 having handle 15. Shank 14 passes between the pen-holder 16, proper, and the pen-holding sleeve 17 thereof, and is slidably seated within a groove 18 formed in one of said parts, (Fig. 3). Handle 15 protrudes beyond sleeve 17 and lies fiat against holder 16, so as not to interfere with thefingers.

By pushing the handle up or down, the,

position-of the feeder may be adjusted, and at the same time the pen will be made'to write harder or softer, owing to the hold of loop 12 on nibs 13. Then the pen is dip ed into an inkstand, a large body of ink wil be retained by the corrugations of the fender, so that the pen will be supplied with ink for a long time.

I claim:

A pen holder and a sleeve having an intervening longitudinal groove, combined with a pen point, a feeder having a shank slidably seated within said groove, an upper handle,.a series of corrugations below the pen point, and a front transverse loopen- -circling both pen nibs.
